ManUAL TOOL CHANGERS
Automation and factories of the future demand flexible, time-saving robotic solutions for the rapid change and deployment of different end-effectors. Our Manual Tool Changers (MTC) are capable of passing through compressed air, vacuum, and electrical services. They are available in various configurations to accommodate a wide range of applications. Whether your needs involve connecting to an Anubis Area Surface Gripper (ASG), Spider Gripper (SPI), Custom Tooling (CT), or a matching tool-side MTC for 1:1 pass-through, our solutions provide the flexibility you need.
Looking for a high-flow tooling solution for palletizing? Anubis has you covered. We offer customized solutions that include incorporating mounting patterns of your design, selecting
from various types of pneumatic pass-throughs (such as push-to-connect fittings and hose barbs), and leveraging our MTC, designed to work seamlessly with hollow-arm robots. You can also customize electrical pass-throughs to meet your specific requirements. Our team of design engineers is ready to discuss your needs and provide tailored solutions to address your unique challenges.
LOAD CAPACITY
Despite their lightweight design, these tool changers are engineered to reliably handle loads of up to 50 kilograms..
TIME SAVING
Efficient robotic solutions for quick swapping and deployment of various end-effectors.
EFFICIENT INTEGRATION
Seamlessly integrates with Anubis tool-side grippers, creating reliable, lightweight, and space-saving end-effectors for enhanced efficiency.

Automation and factories of the future demand flexible, time-saving robotic solutions for the rapid change and deployment of end-effectors in seconds. The Anubis 3D Manual Tool Changer (MTC) simplifies this process with its intuitive design. Just turn the removable handle slightly over 180° to engage the smartly engineered cam lock mechanism. This innovative locking system ensures precise and repeatable tool changes, maintaining tight tolerances for consistent performance.
MANUAL TOOL CHANGERS
Anubis provides the flexibility to purchase the MTC robot-side and tool-side units separately, enabling the use of multiple tool-side units for quick and seamless tool changes. This modular approach supports a wide range of applications, making it ideal for dynamic automation environments.
The MTC is available in numerous configurations, offering customizable combinations of compressed air, vacuum, and electrical pass-through functionalities. These options ensure compatibility with various robotic systems and tooling setups, allowing users to tailor the solution to their specific needs.
AT ANUBIS 3D, WE OFFER ROBOT SIDE AND TOOL SIDE TOOLING AS SEPARATE PURCHASES. EXPLORE OUR MANUAL TOOL CHANGER (MTC) MODELS.
